1. When and Why Did You Decide to Pursue This Dive At This Level? What was your inspiration and motivation?

There is no specific date and day when l decided to pursue this dive because l was born and raised in a Christian family that firmly believes in God. l didn’t know if l was believing it for my parents or for myself, but as l grew up the hunger and thirst for righteousness grew within me and only a few years ago I decided to completely surrender my life to Him by being baptised in the name of Jesus.

2. How Long Did It Take For You To Accomplish This Dive At This Level From The Day You Decided To Pursue It, And Why Did It Take That Long?

For most of my life now l have been pursuing this dive. l can’t really put it into time because as much as l look into it I am born again every day as I come across new things in the word everyday of my life. Just like Paul said, I die daily. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:31: I declare by my rejoicing in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord: I die daily.

3. What Was The Hardest Part About Achieving This Particular Dive Level?

The hardest part was actually believing that God actually exists. As much as l looked into it, l still found it hard to believe until l realized that l needed to let go and let God and stop putting my own thoughts and judgements into action.

4. What Was The Easiest Part About Achieving This Particular Dive Level?

The easiest part about achieving this dive was going to church and attending prayer groups with my friends because their faith and testimonies challenged me every time I was with them. Singing and rejoicing in the lord is also a lot of fun.

5. What Is Your Advice For Someone Who Is Pursuing This Dive And Level?

My advice is that the most important thing you can do is find your God. You are here on earth to serve him always remember it is by faith and not by sight. Read your bible and never lose hope in God because if you really pray and listen you will actually find him waiting for you just like I did. Never try to reason with God too. Just believe.

6. What Are Some Of The Best Resources You Recommend to Those Pursuing This Dive At This Level, And Why Do You Recommend Them? Please Include Relevant Weblinks, If Applicable.

7. Tell Us A Story Of One Of Your Adventures While Pursuing This Dive (At This Level).

The adventure I had while pursuing this dive was actually soul searching. I still remember that I was actually full of confusion. In fact, I wasn’t even sure if I actually understood who I was.

I think I almost went through an identity crisis all because I could not understand where I actually stood spiritually. I couldn’t understand if I was actually a solid Christian or if I was just claiming to be one because I didn’t want to hurt or disappoint my parents with my claim.

So the craziest part about this adventure of mine was when I decided to completely give up on trying to find out if I actually could claim my spot as a Christian. I did not stop going to church though.

I honestly want to thank my mother. I think she noticed the storm within me but she never judged my unbelief instead she held my hand and taught me how to walk again. She would sit with me and share the greatness of God both in her life and from the Bible too, encouraging me to listen to Bro Branham’s messages and sincerely answering all of the weird questions I had.

Within time I found myself moved, hungering, and thirsting for more of Christ until I reached the stage I am at now. I can firmly say I believe in God’s presence. He is omnipotent and his ways are unending. I am proudly saying that He is God and I believe in His existence.

For me, that was truly an adventure although it was filled with many turns that I wasn’t proud of, but I still learnt a lot.

8. What Evidence Did You Submit to Prove You Met the Requirements for This Dive and Level?

My above testimony is an evidence which proves I have had an encounter with God.

9. Will You Be Pursuing The Next Level For This Dive? If Yes, Why? If Not, Why Not?

Yes because no matter what I do I still find myself hungering and thirsting for God. I also believe one can never stop learning about the mightiness of God.

10. What is the Break Diver's Creed?

No Rules. No Excuses. No Regrets.
